boehner needed canter in there because canter is boehner's emissary to the tea party. if the deal had canter's approval boehner would be able to bring his conservatives along and wouldn't be the guy holding the bag for it. canter brought it to the final point. he got the spending cuts done. he said that the deal was going great. they had $2 trillion in spending cuts on the table, the administration, and then at the last minute releases this very weird statement. he doesn't say the negotiations have broken down. he says john boehner will have to be the one to handle the taxing. at the very last minute he pulls out and says i'm not going to be the guy to sign on to tax increases. now john boehner is stuck with the choice. does he let the debt ceiling cave in and the country go into an economic catastrophe or destroy his support among the tea party and open himself up to a challenge by eric canter down the road by being the guy who conceded to the democrats on tax increases? >> where is vice president biden on this? where is president obama on this? when it comes to holdi

so it's possible that boehner may have changed his proposal. the big question mark, will president obama accept his proposal? i've been talking to senior administration officials who say the president isn't weighing in, and the white house isn't really going to weigh in until they actually see what is on the table. and then of course the other big question here, the other big question, boehner's caucus support and signoff on any deal to increase the debt limit. a lot of people scratching their heads about why lawmakers would offer something that would increase the debt limit and not reopen the government. the easy answer is defaulting on the nation's loans would be an economic catastrophe. treasury secretary jack lew was testifying about that earlier today. but of course anger is mounting with the fact that the government continues to be shut down, now in its tenth day. i have spoken to some republicans on the hill who tell me when they were meeting with house speaker john boehner earlier today they expressed concern this plan doesn't include a

what did you hear from john boehner? he said he's willing to budge on revenue, not hike taxes, but is that enough. what are republicans willing to give here. >> the jury is still out. speaker boehner should put his r revenue plan on the table. i mean based on this republican theory that's been proven wrong by history that somehow by giving folks at the top of the income ladder a tax break, you'll create all this economic activity and it will pay for itself and not increase the deficit. we know that failed because what happened after we tried that last time was jobs went down and the deficit went up. so i think the speaker shoumd do what he says that he wants to do. put this out in public. the president has put his plan in public. it was a central part of the debate. saying that folks at the higher end should pay more to reduce our deficit because if we don't ask them to chip in more, it means everybody else gets hit harder. >> you heard what he said. we're not going to raise taxes on small business. and for republicans,
